Yiannis Ladas

Yiannis Ladas was a Greek pagan priest at the Temple of Apollo at Delphi. In 431 BC, the mercenary Kassandra told the priest that she needed to see the Pythia; the priest said that only those chosen by the light of Apollo could enter. The priest went on to explain that one gets chosen by moving to the back of the line, but the heavily-equipped Kassandra asked Ladas if she looked like someone who would wait in line, and the intimidated priest ushered her into the temple to speak with the Pythia.
